Title: Forum emoticons
Post by: Chiroptera on December 27, 2010, 06:11:18 PM: It could just be my computer/connection, but the emoticons are showing up as words rather than pictures.

(It's kind of funny actually - people have random words tacked on to the end of their posts.)

That'll happen when your browser for whatever reason fails to download the images. The words are the alt-text.

Hmmm. Could be that the javascript isn't running for some reason or other, but nothing's been changed that should affect that. A mystery.

Post by: Starbeam on December 27, 2010, 06:36:07 PM: It looks like site avatars are also affected. With those, and the emoticons, I'm getting the ? pictures. Could it possibly have something to do with redoing the main site? Things moved from where they were, maybe?

Post by: iago on December 27, 2010, 06:38:03 PM: Nope, the images are still where they're supposed to be:

... and no javascript that I'm aware of was ...

Hmmmm .... (wheels turning)

Let me poke around with some stuff. That's an interesting thought.

Must be. Son of a gun.

Actually, when I was new to the forum (not long ago) I wondered if that was actually you, and then when I saw you in the youtube vids of the recent dragon*con it was quite obvious that it is. So IMO the image still works it.

Oh, and I just realized that you are wearing the ozzy specs that I recommended Eibhlin put on her son for his Nicodemus costume in this post (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,22327.msg985525.html#msg985525)
